I use Thunderbird to track several RSS feeds but one thing that annoys me about reading Del.icio.us feeds is the problem of recurring links. It’s not surprising that the same links appear time and again but here’s a way to delete those duplicates: The Remove Duplicate Messages extension does just that. It will compare different elements of messages and offer to delete them.
It works best with RSS feeds when you select “Compare subject/Compare message body (slow)” in Tools->Extensions->Remove Duplicate Messages->Options.
If you use Feedster.com, you’ll notice all the dupes that come through when feedster is down. This’ll get rid of those too!

I discovered the true power of feedster and rss only a few weeks ago.
I have an interest in a few things:
What I did was grab the XML feed for each of those searches and use Thunderbird to track them.
Now I have a very effective method of finding out who’s talking about me, and about my favourite subjects!
Unfortunately, searching for more generic terms such as “photography” results in too much cruft for it to be useful, and Thunderbird seems to fall down if I try advanced feedster queries.

streamtuner – Internet radio tuner
I came across streamtuner a few days ago and installed it from Debian apt when it sparked my interest.
It talks to radio directories like SHOUTcast and Live365 and lists them in a nice gui. Click on any station and up pops xmms!
I never got into the whole streaming radio thing before, but there’s every sort of station out there! I’m amazed!
